Solid Deception

(Plastic Version) Poker Size

by Paul Harris

Turn astonishment into amazement with this mind-blowing card routine!

Looking for a show-stopping card trick with a jaw-dropping finale? Solid Deception delivers just that! This ingenious routine by Paul Harris offers an unforgettable twist to the classic "Ambitious Card" effect, leaving both spectators and performers in awe.

The Effect:

The performer begins by executing an "Ambitious Card" routine where a spectator’s initialed card repeatedly rises to the top of the deck. Unlike traditional versions that require advanced sleight of hand, this version minimizes the need for technical skill, making it accessible to magicians of all levels.

Then comes the astonishing finale! The performer asks the spectator to cut their initialed card into the deck. To everyone’s amazement, the deck is revealed to be a solid block, except for the spectator's card! The deck is entirely glued together, yet throughout the routine, it was shuffled, spread, and manipulated like a regular deck. No deck switches, palming, or advanced sleights are required—just pure magic!

No deck switches. No palming. Just pure magic.

Why Choose the Plastic Version?

The original "Solid Deception" was crafted by painstakingly gluing together new decks of cards. While effective, this process was time-consuming and prone to wear and tear. Enter the Plastic Version:

• Durable Core: Made with a Lexan plastic core, ensuring longevity and resistance to heavy use.
• Authentic Look: Cards are seamlessly attached for a convincing appearance and effortless handling.
• Convenient Customization: Offered in Bicycle Poker cards with a choice of Red or Blue backs. Don’t worry—if you change your mind later, you can easily swap the card back design and box!

We still offer the Original Version (crafted by gluing standard cards) for purists, available in both Poker and Bridge sizes.
